Chapter 523

Time entered the second half of January, and the domestic film market ushered in another important moment.

Following Wei Jin, Wu Ershan, and Xu Ke, another 1 billion director was born!

"Produced by Shanhe Media, the New Year comedy 'Lost in Thailand,' released for 24 days, the total box office officially exceeded 1 billion..."

"Another domestic 1 billion box office film, officially born!"

"'Lost in Thailand' single-day box office dropped to 15 million, and there is more than a week left before it goes offline, it is expected to collect another 100 million."

The media reports were overwhelming, all about "Lost in Thailand" and Xu Zheng.

Shanghai Theatre Academy was even more happy, finally having a director who could be taken out, although this was a graduate of the acting department.

Immediately, Xu Zheng's resume was placed at the top of the school's official website.

"Director Xu Zheng is an outstanding graduate of the 94th Acting Department of our school. His representative works include 'Spring Bright Pig Bajie,' 'Call for Love,' 'Night Shop,' 'Lost on Journey'..."

The big sale of "Lost in Thailand" made Han Sanping regret his intestines.

Because the investment share was too small at the beginning, he was embarrassed to speak. Now that he thinks about it, Han Sanping wants to give himself two slaps. He is already at such an age, what face does he want?

Why not learn from Old Wang of Guangxian? If this film had taken 20% or 30% of the share, how much benefit would this be?

"Sigh, what a pity."

After sighing, Old Han quickly packed up his mood and looked up at the secretary.

"How is the celebration banquet for 'Gravity' arranged?"

"Director Han, all major companies in the industry have sent invitations, and the companies that received them have indicated that the top leaders will attend."

"Hmm, that's good, what did Old Ren say?"

"Uh, Chairman Ren said that there are many group affairs, and it is approaching the end of the year, so he will arrange for Vice Chairman Jiang to come over."

"Hehe, this Old Ren, he is already the chairman, and he only knows how to be busy all day. Forget it, anyway, the General Administration will have a meeting later, and there will be a chance to meet..."

"0.0"

The secretary was embarrassed to expose Han Sanping. Is that what you want to meet? Isn't it just that you want to show off? Compared to Han Sanping missing the investment opportunity of "Lost in Thailand," other production companies in the circle felt more heartbroken.

Everyone is working hard to make big films, and they don't know whether they will lose or earn at the end of the year.

Shanhe Media casually makes a low-cost film and earns several hundred million. Who can you reason with?

The most emotional one is Huayi, which has lost money in several films this year, which can be said to have hurt its vitality.

Although "Chinese Zodiac" achieved a result of 833 million, compared to the 300 million production and promotion costs, even if the product placement and overseas copyright are calculated, it is only a small profit.

More of it is reflected in the blessing of the stock price.

"Zhonglei, do you think this is Xu Zheng's ability or Wei Jin's script?"

"Brother, I think it might be both. Without the level, I'm afraid Wei Jin wouldn't hand over the script to him..."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhonglei realized his brother's meaning, "Brother, are you thinking?"

"Hmm, I heard that Xu Zheng accepted the annual meeting invitations of Xiaoma, Ali, and LeTV. This person looks ambitious and will not be willing to be under Wei Jin. If he really has the ability, why can't we participate?"

Wang Zhongjun sat on the boss chair, his eyes narrowed slightly. Huayi's binding with Feng Dapao is too deep, which is not a good thing.

"Then, why don't I contact him first?"

"Hmm, invite him to the club to talk. Doesn't he like to play? It's best to sign him to the company. Even if it doesn't work, we must reach a cooperation. There will always be a time when he is useful."

Wang Zhonglei remembered the previous news, and a smile appeared on his face: "Brother, don't worry, I will arrange it."

Wei Jin has to admit that some people are born to mix in the entertainment industry.

When filming "Lost in Thailand," Xu Zheng took the initiative to say that he was a newcomer director and could have a chance to practice, so he didn't want the director's salary, only accepting the actor's salary.

But now that the film is selling well, Wei Jin doesn't want to be said to be stingy, so he specifically arranged for Chen Zhiming to sign a supplementary contract, giving him a director's salary of 2 million according to Guo Fan's director standard, but didn't expect that Baldy Xu didn't want it.

"Xu Zheng pulled with me for a long time, saying that we should follow the original contract, and played the game of three resignations and three refusals with me. It was only after a lot of talk that he signed."

Chen Zhiming couldn't help but tease on the phone.

"Hehe, Old Chen, how do you know he doesn't have other thoughts? And Xu Zheng is a human spirit. Now that the transformation is successful, what he earned less in this film will all be made up in other places."

"Hmm, that's the logic. He has been asking me around for the past two days, whether there is a next one..."

Wei Jin nodded, this was within his expectations.

"Then how did you reply?"

"Of course I don't know, maybe he will contact you again..."

"Hehe, that's fine, I'll wait for him..."

After chatting with Chen Zhiming about some work content, Wei Jin hung up the phone, turned around and returned to the room, hugging Da Meiyuan and continuing to watch "Sealed with a Kiss."

Of course, it was watched on Potato Video.

This play has a total of 30 episodes, 10 episodes a week. From the broadcast on New Year's Day to now, in three weeks, it is about to usher in the finale.

And as the plot progressed, the ratings climbed steadily, and the peak ratings were close to breaking the 3 mark.

In this Internet era, it can be called an eye-catching achievement.

However, the evaluation on the Internet is very average. The score on Yinxiang Net barely maintained at 7 points, which is much worse than the other hit masterpieces of Shanhe Media.

The reason why it can achieve such results is that Tangren's luck is not bad.

Perhaps it was because Shanhe Media's "Eastern Palace" performed very well last year, most TV stations chose to use historical costume themes as the opening drama of the year.

For example, "King's War," which was bought by Anhui Satellite TV at a huge cost, directed by Gao Xixi, and starred by Chen Daoming, Peter Ho, and Qin Lan.

Or for example, the costume drama "Beauty's Rival in Palace," written by Yu Zheng and starred by Liu Kaiwei, Yuan Shanshan, and Cai Shaofen, was broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV.

Or for example, "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties," starred by Yan Kuan, Fu Dalong, Zhang Han, Jiang Wu, Du Chun, etc., is currently being broadcast on Shanghai Television, Zhejiang Satellite TV, Shandong Satellite TV, and Shenzhen Satellite TV.

Various costume dramas are broadcast together, making the audience a bit aesthetically fatigued.

In this case, "Sealed with a Kiss," a dog-blood domineering president drama, stood out, which was also beyond Wei Jin's expectations.

"Xiao Jin, the acting skills of this little girl in the company are really good..."

Da Meiyuan stroked her increasingly pregnant belly with one hand, watching Gao Ye's performance and commenting.

"Hmm, she is quite good."

Wei Jin praised her. He really had a good impression of this classmate of Jing Tian and junior sister of Beijing Film Academy.

Her acting skills are good, she is down-to-earth, and there are no messy things, which makes people very worry-free.

In this "Sealed with a Kiss," Gao Ye plays a miserable female lead who is abused and tortured by the male lead, and she has to endure it without resisting because the two families have a feud.

Tong Xue's father sold company secrets, causing the Mo family's enterprise to fall into a crisis, and Mo Shaoqian's father died of a heart attack. On the one hand, Tong Xue had the idea of atonement, and on the other hand, she also wanted to protect her family.

In addition, there is a bit of Stockholm syndrome, and she was captured by the crazy male lead Mo Shaoqian.

Objectively speaking, this kind of role is not easy to play, but Gao Ye grasped it very well, and there are many praises for her on the Internet.

According to Zhang Xu's report, although this play is not enough to make Gao Ye popular overnight, her fame in the industry has basically opened up. She has received many business endorsements recently. After "New Police Story 2013" is finished, related announcements will be arranged.

As long as there are resources in the future, it is not a problem to cultivate Gao Ye into a powerful little flower.

It is worth mentioning that as a transformation drama specifically created by Tangren for Hu Ge, the purpose has basically been achieved.

In this play, Mo Shaoqian, played by Hu Ge, is a domineering president with an unpredictable personality and moody temper.

Apart from being handsome and rich, he shows more neurotic perversion, often using violent means to deal with the female lead.

He often pushes the female lead on the bed, sofa, table, and everywhere she can be pushed down, pinching her neck and kissing her forcibly.

In fact, this kind of violent maniac is not easy to play, especially to make it charming and not let the audience hate it, it is really not easy.

But Hu Ge played the spirit and control of the domineering president, and there are many good reviews on the Internet. His transformation is basically successful.

During this time, Hu Ge sent many messages to Wei Jin to express his gratitude, because he knew very well that this role was not irreplaceable, and this play was not irreplaceable by Tangren.

In this regard, Wei Jin of course did not take credit. After all, Miss Cai paid enough price at the beginning.

In addition, although Shanhe Media only has half the share of this play, it has earned a lot.

According to the data from the company, the prices for the second and third rounds of this play have been negotiated, totaling 1.6 million per episode.

Adding the online broadcast copyright, the income is at least 50 million or more.

The key is that the company didn't put in much effort, just provided the copyright and two producers, which is too easy.

In view of this, Wei Jin has instructed Jiang Xuerou to reasonably release some copyrights rated below A within the company to industry companies or star studios under the company.

In this way, perhaps it can accelerate the incubation of star studios.

More than an hour later, the TV series came to an end, still the reunion ending in the original novel.

Although dog-blood, it is indeed the specialty of Fei Wo Si Cun, and the audience also loves to see this kind of routine drama.

However, Da Meiyuan's eyes were filled with layers of water mist.

It wasn't because of being moved, but because of Wei Jin's hand, which hadn't stopped for more than half an hour. Where could a sister in her thirties withstand it?

Da Meiyuan even wanted to give herself a like, actually being able to endure for so long, but at this moment she didn't want to suppress herself anymore, biting her red lips and sending a signal.

"Xiao Jin, I want~~~"

Looking at Da Meiyuan, who was slightly plump but still beautiful, Wei Jin's mouth showed a hint of teasing.

"Sister Yuanyuan, what about your sincerity?"

"Little bad guy~~~"

Giving Wei Jin a charming look, Da Meiyuan reached out and pressed his head down slightly.

"Taste the flavor for the baby..."

"Woo woo woo..."

The celebration banquet for "Gravity" is here.

Although it is approaching the end of the year and the absolute core Wei Jin did not attend, the scene is still very lively.

Because the film has not yet gone offline, Han Sanping did not prepare a digital ice sculpture this time, but replaced it with the letter "X."

In Old Han's words, this represents infinite possibilities.

The guests at the scene sneered at this. After all, the whole world has entered routine disposal, and the box office can't rise much more.

But even so, when Han Sanping shared the expected income of "Gravity" on stage, many companies that came to the scene still couldn't hide their envy.

Advertising revenue 110 million, domestic share exceeded 760 million, overseas share approached 300 million US dollars.

Although China Film, Wanda, and Aerospace Technology Group only participated in the internal share of Huaxia, this part of the income also approached 1 billion.

Calculated by China Film's investment share of 20% of 90 million, the net income is as high as 110 million, who is not jealous?

Didn't you see Ye Ning and Han Sanping, their mouths were almost laughing?

Of course, if you want to say who earned the most, it is still Shanhe Media.

Even after deducting the high costs of overseas distribution and promotion, the overall income is at least 300 million US dollars or more, which can only be described as exaggerated.

During the cocktail party, Zeng Li became the most beautiful cub in the audience.

You have to know, with the global big sale of "Gravity," Zeng Li's fame internationally is currently in full swing.

How many companies that want to put projects into overseas markets hope to pull her onto the warship.

But these companies are destined to return without success. After all, Zeng Li is now so Buddhist that she is too lazy to even appear in the projects prepared by Wei Jin.

Wei Jin didn't expect that before receiving a call from Baldy Xu, he actually saw his news.

When participating in an interview variety show, Xu Zheng was asked by the host about the differences between northern and southern comedy, and talked about the representatives of northern and southern comedy, and then commented one by one.

As the founder of the so-called Shanghai-style Qingkou, Zhou Bobo was also in the ranks of comments.

From the perspective of a professional actor, Xu Zheng objectively commented on Zhou Bobo's acting skills, euphemistically stating:

"I think Zhou Bobo shouldn't be a host, and his acting skills need to be improved a bit, the technique is a bit sloppy..."

Just like that, Zhou Bobo seemed to explode, chasing Xu Zheng on the Internet and scolding, "Dressing like a pig is quite like it, being a person is quite 'Jiong'," even not letting go of people's ancestors for three generations, scolding very ugly.

Even netizens couldn't stand it, directly mocking on the Internet, too lack of quality and politeness.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Bobo was not easy to mess with, directly starting a war on the Internet, scolding a group of people alone.

The combat effectiveness is stronger than Feng Dapao, truly explosive.

After sighing, Wei Jin put away his phone and turned to walk towards the studio.

There are not many indoor scenes in "Nomadland," and the acting skills of several main actors are indeed very online. Even if there are NG sometimes, they generally won't exceed three or four takes.

Most of the time, it can even pass in one or two takes, which makes the filming efficiency of the film very high.

Wei Jin expects that there will be at most one more week, and the indoor scenes will end, and then the outdoor filming will begin.

"It's time to let Sister Li and Dudu come over..."

After muttering, Wei Jin picked up the walkie-talkie and issued instructions.

"action!"
